Illuminate Down Hooded Jacket - Women's

Go to! long lasting

Had thus jackets for 3 years. It's been go to almost worn everyday Oct to Mar. Lightweight and packable. The down has thinned under my arm over the years so doesn't keep hat part as warm. I'm larger chest so been snugg across but doesn't seem to have crushed down too much. The zipper just started running wierd like it's almost gonna split but doesn't. Have to push on zipper top to help. Overall one of my go to favorite jackets in my closet for everyday and adventures.

Not true to size

Fit is definitely not true to size

If dipped cotton balls was a thing!!!!

If you could dip your upper half into a pool of cotton balls and have them stay on your body, this is what the experience is like!!! And it has pockets and a HOODIE!!!!! A cotton ball hoodie!!!!! Its down all over and not cotton but I want you to imagine to softness of a cotton ball versus the texture of a feather!!! Would recommend to everyone all day everyday!!! It keeps out all of the wind and cold, I wore this in the Rockys during Christmas and it was super clutch!! I get cold easily and this keeps me so warm!!

Good but not durable

The jacket is lightweight and warm, but it made with cheap zippers and really thin material. I wore this two winters in the field and one of the pocket zippers is broken and it has multiple holes even with being careful. For the price I don't think it is worth it if you plan to actually get some use out of it.

Light & Warm

I ordered a size up for layering. I wore this jacket hiking, about 30 degrees up on the summit, kept me warm with a mid layer under. The jacket is much lighter in color than the photo. Great jacket!!

My first down jacket and I love it!

Perfect for low-teen temps! I was nice and toasty in this fabulous hoodie!

Great packable warmth with long arms

For getting out into the mountains this down has been excellent. The selling point was hw the arms ran long because usually arms are a bit short for my long limbs

Lightweight & Packable - bought in S and M

Me: 5'2, 145lb, broad shoulders, small chest, athletic build - I bought it in a Black (S) and a light blue (M) I love that this jacket is super lightweight and packable. I can easily throw this in my bag and it doesnt weigh my bag down or fill it up too much. I originally bought this jacket in a small to wear casually but realized that I couldn't wear bulky clothes under it. So I bought another in a medium and loved the fit of the medium much better. The small works best for me with a t-shirt or longsleeve under. Where the medium works best when I want to wear a thicker shirt or even a light hoodie. I have noticed that the down is starting to come out of the seams, and this jacket has a lot of stitching! I'd buy it again, but would lean towards the medium to avoid stretching the seams enough for the down to come out and also for more versatility.

Lightweight and warm

I bought this for my mom and she love the warmth and lightness of it. I don't particularly like the flare at the bottom of the jackets as it would make me look wide however it fits my mom well. I recommend it as a mid layer on cold days.

I've used it many times now and it has kept me nice and cozy warm. I get a lot of compliments on the color and how lightweight it is! Great product! Would purchase again if I needed to!
